    Sterotyping is not a good thing.

    I hope not. Though I think it has been done. Though by some not so idiotic
    people. Intelligence, maturity, and sense of resposibility are not the same
    thing. And I resent the refrence to geeks in that way. Another sterotype.

    Are your insults any more reasonable simply because they are more
    politically correct?
    Have you gone out and looked at most MUDs and determined all of them are run
    by idiots? Have you asked all the geeks in MUDs and saw that they are
    insecure and threaten people with their power? Have you talked to all the
    people who are abusing power and determined them idiots/geeks/insecure? I
    don't think you have. The reputation of the masses always is ruined by even
    the smallest % of "bad" people.

    If you really were offended by his message why didn't you just send him
    personal email instead of creating a big deal out of it and thus starting a
    long line of responses and a big arguement?
